Aquarina and her companions heard the rumbling of approaching ants. The colony had quickly noticed that many of their kind were missing, prompting an urgent response to whatever was happening at the entrance. Giant ants rushed forward, crawling along the walls and ceiling, while flying ants joined them. Not every ant was capable of flying, it seemed.
The flying ants were soldiers, while the walking ants were workers. Despite this, both were immensely powerful, giant insects capable of burning an entire village or trampling everything in their path. Thousands united would undoubtedly be a hellish force for anyone below Tier 7.
Thus, despite being overwhelmed by Aquarina and her party, these creatures, in such a massive group, could be deemed a "calamity"—a horde of monsters often mistaken for a natural disaster, capable of wiping out an entire country if left unchecked.
